PSALM OF "RE-INCARNATION"

It’s as if there are previous doings and places: memories of a dim and distant other.

For you are there before ever I was: you brought me to be in my mother’s womb;

your love was there in my parents: and in their parents too, for all existence!

Where shall I be, after I have died? there’s a mystery in all our endings!

It’s as if there are shadows of those I’ve known: the past still seems to be around me today.

For you are there after all has gone: you are always with those who have died;

your love is there in friends departed: if I’m close to you, I’m close to them too!

If I jet off through the sunset sky: like the sun, you go with me, and are there before me!

If I drown in the depths of despair: though I’m unaware of you, that’s when you carry me.

For you are there in heaven and in hell: even when I want you away, you never let me go;

your love is beside me through thick and thin: as you’re here now, you are here for ever.
